Daily we make decisions to speak with people whether for personal or business or who knows what other reasons…
And my most common mode for communication is this techno marvel, since I do not have an IPHONE or IPAD or smart newer form of communication, but I don’t mind because this works for me.
And if it’s not broke; so as the expression goes, why fix it?
But over the last few days people, two of my often communication peeps have been finding either that they have not been receiving my emails or as the one from Canada said that it was going into her undesirable folder and she would write back asking me if these were from me.
I took it to mean as we call it here, her SPAM folder, and so I called her to suggest that perhaps she should adjust it?
Hubby took her side and said that was insulting to her as if she didn’t know how to use her computer, meanwhile I was still seething from being called undesirable! And I do know that sometimes things accidentally or on purpose by hitting it too soon could go there to the SPAM folder. Why I have accidentally even deleted things that I wanted.
MEN!
The other was that old chum from up north who said that she hadn’t heard from me since I told her that we would be going to the P-G party, which I told her was a festival, guess she was being sarcastic or perhaps funny, Punta Gorda, P-G? PS I sent her at least five emails since that one, all yesterday! Mostly because she was buying her mom a scooter from where I got mine and I thought she should invest in an extra battery since what happened to me at the festival with mine going dead. Thankfully due to Hubby’s recharging it fully, it seems to be holding a full charge now.
Am I taking all this way too seriously?
Probably, and that’s why I called her too, and she did not answer her cell phone and so I left a message and so I do believe there might be more going on than I realize here…
She did go to work this morning; she works part time and she did say that she did turn her computer off when she left. But that does not explain why no emails were received.
I suppose she no longer wants to renew our old friendship; for some reason that I don’t know why, but then why email saying that she hadn’t heard from me.
Gosh, I am baffled.
My world gets smaller each and every day…
And my sadness gets larger.
The last few years I stopped forwarding forwards most of the time, unless they are real funny, not political or biased in anyway! In those days I got back hate mail from those who disagreed when I mailed the ones that were biased to my liberal ways of thinking!
I found what makes one person laugh, makes another angry, sometimes and vice versa sometimes too.
We, as human beings are still so difficult to read and harder due to this thing not seeing your facial expressions or hearing your voice; as I said no Skype here either.
And in my present condition that’s just as well.
Yep, being in this house more often than not is hard to do.
Let me try to find the humor in all this… looking, wait, looking… looking; yep got it!
If I had not had anyone to speak with regularly at all… than I would have NOTHING TO BE UPSET ABOUT OR ABLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT! TA DA!
Got that one out as a squeaker, hmm?
But really with me being way too sensitive to others attitudes and ways of expressing themselves in dealing with me that alone has given to me the ability to become more astute too in trying to communicate not as harshly over the last year or so, I do believe; a kinder gentler me, at least I hope so.
People don’t get it that with MS so many glitches in your brainwaves can be responsible for me behaving the way that I do.
Besides my atrocious grammar problems that also are responsible from leaving prepositions out too! More so than off, on, at, etc. Brain glitches are not that uncommon with Multiple Sclerosis or Dyslexia problems with transposing numbers and letters. I know it is due to the MS since I used to receive one hundreds, being the perfect grade on my spelling tests as a child in school and now I cannot recall many words… also I was pretty good in math too and now that’s gone by the wayside too!
And no, these problems are not from my age and I am not on the verge of dementia, since my neurologist specializes in that and we discussed that my mom’s sister had it that is Alzheimer’s.
So far, there are no indications of that, thankfully.
But I did inherit one of my mom’s bad things a true personality flaw, being a worrier, or worry wart, and that’s not good at all.
I still love and miss her though, and we all say that we will be or won’t be just like our parents, little do we realize at the time it is inevitable, we have their DNA!
On that more than you may have wanted know, but already did, she said what?
Allow me now to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you all kindly count all your blessings and share those overages and we will too!
And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
Speaking My Mind is about: Tobi, who is a middle aged, no, oh all right a slightly over the hill woman with all the imperfections that go with that, and this concerns her daily life's perceptions and experiences.
